Hello again! The card I'm sharing today was created using the Honeycomb Stencil from Memory Box.My stencil came from a local craft shop, Oyster Stamps. Apply Versamark ink, with a sponge, through the stencil.Remove the stencil and plonk it into some water.

Apply Mica Boss powder to the image, its like an embossing powder. Heat it with a heat gun, it goes very sticky, add the gilding flakes to cover the image. Burnish gently, I used a clean,dry stencil brush.Tip the excess flakes back into your container.A few Quickutz die cuts and job done. Thanks for looking today Eileen xx

I've been playing with some smashing new Stencils from Memory Box today. I've used two on this card.

Birch Landscape and Mini Dots. Both Stencils are available from Oyster Stamps.I attached the Birch Trees stencil, using low tac tape, to the reverse, white side, of some Centura Pearl card stock and blended various colours of Distress Inks through the stencil. Keeping the first stencil in place, I placed the Mini Dots stencil down on top and did a quick spray with Dylusions White Linen ink. Looks like snow!
